What Is QLGC-QLASPTrap-MIB?

QLGC-QLASPTrap-MIB is a QLogic vendor MIB defining SNMP trap notifications for the QLASP (QLogic Adapter Software Program) NIC teaming driver, used to bond multiple QLogic network adapters for failover and load balancing on server hosts. It is a notifications-only MIB, so it does not carry configuration or polled state tables itself, but instead defines the trap events a QLASP-managed teaming driver emits. In terms of hardware/software status monitoring, its purpose is entirely event-driven software-state monitoring: it reports failover events (a team member going down and traffic failing over), load-balancing state changes, and link state changes on teamed adapters — critical signals for detecting a failed NIC or cable in a redundant team. It depends on the underlying QLASP driver/software installed on the host and is typically paired with standard IF-MIB interface objects for the physical adapters involved. It is deployed on servers using QLogic NICs configured in a teamed/bonded configuration for network redundancy, and administrators can download the QLGC-QLASPTrap-MIB file to load these trap definitions into their SNMP management platform.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in QLGC-QLASPTrap-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

What Can Be Monitored

  • NIC team failover events
  • load balancing state changes
  • teamed adapter link state changes

Supported Devices

  • Server with QLogic NIC teaming (QLASP driver)

Monitoring Examples

This MIB defines trap objects only (no sample runtime data tables were available), so a realistic scenario is a management station configured to receive QLASP traps and alert when a failover trap fires, indicating the active NIC in a team went down and the standby adapter took over. A link-state-change trap on a teamed adapter would similarly flag a physical cable or switch-port fault requiring investigation before the redundant capacity is exhausted.
